Most languages have three levels - Premium (Level 1), Premium Plus (Level 2), and Platinum (Level 3). You can compare these to Beginners, Intermediate, and Advanced. Each level is an independent course and doesn't contain material from the previous level. Some languages have only 1 or 2 levels depending on its release date and popularity.

The free trial includes lessons from the Premium (Level 1) level of the course and so will give you an idea of how the course works and the kinds of topics covered. For those languages with more than one level, we have also included more advanced samples - just look for the extra tabs across the top of your Members Area page.

Our courses cost USD $149.95 for online lifetime access. The Rocket Sign Language course and the Rocket English course cost USD $99.95 each, as they are a different format.

The 20CD sets cost USD $299.95 (incl. shipping) per level and include online access to the course as well. The 20CD set contains the same materials as the online version of the course but has all the Interactive Audio lessons in high-quality audio CD format which you can play straight in your CD player or stereo.

The main components of all Rocket Languages courses are the Interactive Audio lessons & the Language and Culture lessons. These give you a balanced approach to learning each language.

The courses also include lots of features that help you with your learning; like adding notes on lessons, saving words in My Vocab, and practicing your pronunciation with Rocket Record, our voice comparison technology. The Master Games are a great way to have fun while learning as well.

You will be able to track your progress within your online members area and rate lessons using our rating system - "Hear It, Say It", "Know It" and "Write It".

We also have a 20CD set option with all your learning materials on disc. All the audio lessons are in audio CD format for you to play straight in your CD player or stereo. You will also have PDF versions of the Language and Culture on disc. However, you will still need to go online to access the quizzes, games, Rocket Record, My Vocab, My Notes and progress tracking.

*Please note that Rocket Sign Language and Rocket English do not follow the same format.

All of the Interactive Audio lessons can be downloaded and copied to an iPod or MP3 player for listening to away from your computer. PDF versions of the Language and Culture lessons can be saved and printed. Please note that with both the online version and the 20CD set options, some of the course materials will need to be accessed online, such as the quizzes, Rocket Record, My Vocab, My Notes and progress tracking.

How does it work?

Once ClickBank has processed your payment each month you'll be able to log in to the Members Area HERE and instantly access the latest exciting episode. You’ll also be sent an email reminder from us when your latest Episode has been released and you’ll be able to access the Episode from the link in this email. All you need is an up-to-date browser (we recommend Google Chrome) and you're ready to go!

After logging into the Members Area, click on The Español Episodes and you will land on the book cover - click the cover to start the first episode. You can move between episodes by clicking the colored tabs down the right hand side of the book with numbers that represent each episode. The left hand page of the book features a bookmark which contains your menu. You can access different areas and features of The Español Episodes by clicking on these menu items. Right click (or CTRL+click) on the DOWNLOAD icon and select "Save Target As" or "Save Link As" to download the full audio.

If you would like to record and compare your voice using Rocket Record, your computer will need to have a built in microphone, or you will need to acquire a headset with a microphone. However, if you only want to listen to the audio, you won't need to have a microphone. We recommend this headset: http://tinyurl.com/82mjoor

I’m having technical problems - what should I do?

First make sure your browser is up to date! You will also need to have Adobe Flash Player installed on your computer to play the audio and use the Rocket Record feature (this will not work on devices that don't support Flash). Please ensure that you have the latest version of Adobe Flash player. You can download it for free HERE.

If Rocket Record is not detecting your voice, please try checking the sound settings on your Flash Player by right clicking on the recording area (or holding CTRL + click) and selecting "Settings". Under Privacy, please ensure "Allow" is selected and tick the box "Remember". You can also check your microphone levels under the Microphone tab and to see if your microphone is being detected at all.

If you’re having trouble with a downloaded audio file please try re-downloading it. Most often the file simply didn't download correctly. If you have an unstable internet connection, your download may have been interrupted. Anti-virus software, pop-up blockers, and firewalls can also prevent a file from being fully downloaded. To resolve this issue, close all other open applications and re-download the file using a different internet browser. We recommend using Chrome or Firefox.

If you are still having problems even with a different browser, please email our support team here with more details and include a screenshot of the problem if possible.

What if I'm not happy with the episodes?

If you're not happy with The Español Episodes we can issue a full refund for you as long as it is within 60 days of purchase. Once a refund is processed for the subscription product, the remaining monthly subscription rebills are canceled and no further charges are made.

You can cancel your subscription at any time and no further monthly payments will be charged. Please note that cancelation of your subscription does not generate a refund. A refund will only be provided if requested within 60 days from the initial purchase date.

To cancel your monthly subscription or to arrange a refund please contact us.

If you want to resume your subscription after previously canceling The Español Episodes, just contact us.

If you can't recall your password, please click on the "Lost your password?" link. If you are still having problems logging in, please contact our support team here and include your receipt number if possible.

Clickbank does go offline temporarily from time to time (like most web sites), while this can be very annoying usually it is only very temporary and within 15 minutes or so it will be back online.

If you find that the Clickbank order form is not working after 30 minutes or so then please email us here and we will try to contact Clickbank. All special prices will be honored as long as we get an email from you!

If your order went through, you should have received a receipt from Clickbank. You should also have been re-directed to the Members Area right after you ordered. Also, you can look at your credit card statement to double check. You should have a charge from Clickbank.

If you haven't received your login details or welcome email, please check your spam or junk mail folder. Please contact us here if you have ordered but have not received your receipt number.

If you have mistakenly ordered the same package more than once you would have more than one Clickbank email, with the product description being the same on both receipts.

If you have ordered the same package more than once then please email us straight away so that we can refund the mistaken purchase.

Please note that if you have taken advantage of any of our upgrade offers, you will be sent two emails with different receipt numbers. Please check the product descriptions listed on the receipts to determine whether you have ordered two different packages, or whether you have mistakenly ordered two copies of the same package.

However, please note Clickbank (our Authorized Retailer) has some automated security features when it comes to credit card transactions, especially with overseas credit cards. For instance, if the country of origin of the credit card and the country where the Rocket Languages product is being ordered from are different then it is likely that the transaction will be denied.

We would recommend trying it and seeing what happens! There are a few other payment options here as well:

Yes. We value your privacy so we use Clickbank as Rocket Languages’ only authorized retailer. Your information is 100% secure as Clickbank is one of the most trusted and largest retailers on the internet, processing thousands of orders for thousands of publishers, like Rocket Languages, every day. In order to process payments with Visa and MasterCard credit cards, Clickbank requires the CVV2 or CVC2 validation code. Most cards have this 3-digit code printed on the back of the card, to the right of the card number. American Express cards have a 4-digit code printed on the front, to the right of the card number. If you are 100% certain your card has no code on it, enter "none" in the blank.

Clickbank (our Authorized Retailer) has some automated security features when it comes to credit card transactions, especially with overseas credit cards. For instance, if the country of origin of the credit card and the country where the Rocket Languages product is being ordered from are different then it is likely that the transaction will be denied.

Here is what Clickbank told us when we enquired about declined credit card transactions:

"I recommend the customer contact their credit card company first, to determine if there is an issue with the provider that can be resolved. If the credit card company denies declining any charge, then the card was declined by our risk management system. This is a separate authorization system, so we cannot provide any specific information regarding the decline.

We know it can be frustrating. Accepting credit cards over the internet is a dangerous business. For us and our clients, it is better that we err on the side of caution. Other services may have a less stringent security system and therefore may also incur a higher percentage of fraud, which can be costly. We do our best to protect our clients from this.

We appreciate your understanding.

Thank you,

Clickbank Review Team"

We realize that this can be frustrating but as usual it is a few people who spoil it for the rest by trying to rip-off the system. There are a few other payment options here if you are having trouble paying via credit card:

If your currency is listed on the drop down list in the Clickbank order form you can select it to pay in your local currency. If you are not paying by credit card, you can convert USD to your local currency here:

In the top right hand corner of every Interactive Audio and Language and Culture lesson, you will see the HWKPQ letters. These letters directly relate to the tests for each lesson:

H - Hear It / Say It

W - Write It

K - Know It

P - Play It

Q - Quiz

As you complete the tests for each lesson, these letters will change color, depending on the overall rating for that test. For example, if you take the Hear It / Say It test, and rate most phrases as It's Easy (the green rating button), the letter H will change to green.

Play it! really gets you thinking on the spot by letting you take part in an actual conversation.

IMPORTANT! We recommend using a headset for best functionality!

Test how well you know the conversation from the Interactive Audio lesson.

Select the speaker you want to be and how much of the transcript you wish to see.

Click the Get Started button

We will NEVER pass your email address on to spammers! Over half of the emails that Rocket Languages get are spam, and it is extremely annoying and frustrating, so there is absolutely no way that we are going to contribute to their cause.

Most of the features are functional on the app, however some features are not compatible with the mobile app. We might be working on including a new feature in an update or technology on mobile devices hasn't caught up yet.

We try to update the app periodically with new features and bug fixes but if you have any feedback, please feel free to email us with you comments.

Feedback and Suggestions

Because it's important that the learner gets used to ambiguity when learning another language. It's about getting a feel for the language and it's structures rather than having definitive rules for everything (as often there aren't definitive rules, and there's usually always more than one way to say the same thing).

Our main concern has been to make the translations as literal as we could without sounding awkward in English.

In saying that, if you feel that a particular phrase could be made more literal or would benefit from being notated with regards gender or plurality then please let us know and we will consider it.
